Hello Dear Friends. Once again, I've been absent for a bit, but right now, I imagine everyone is so shell-shocked they haven't even noticed. At the moment, I'm dealing with a case of Bell's Palsy for the third time in 26 years. If you're not familiar with it, the short explanation is the doctors aren't sure what causes it, although a virus (not CoVid 19) is one of the possibilities. At any rate, there is pressure on one of my cranial nerves, which causes a temporary (I sincerely hope) paralysis in the right side of my face. It's difficult to blink my right eye, to eat and drink, and to talk. Today makes a week since it first started, and I finished my round of steroids yesterday. We're seeing a very slight improvement, so I hope it will heal completely, as it did the first two times.
